hey james...if you want to get technical, the 10 year anniversary was a
few weeks ago. They did the show before the Another Roadside Attraction
tour kicked off which is why it made it a bit more special that the Oils
interrupted their family vacation and did that show. I think it
occurred near the end of their 3 week vacation. That was a cool tour,
and the SARS-stock music festival last week reminded me of the only
music festival I went to...the Hip sucked on that tour but i have to
give them credit for putting the whole event together.
